USF Jaws Ride 1990

[slagarcrue85]

There's acutal was a some kid on YouTube that actually made posted a documentary about the jaws ride. He said in the video That they had so many problems with the ride. Due to all the money it was costing them to set off a fire explosion every day. All the other problems they had universal studios actually eventually sued the people that designed the original ride for them. It closed down peremetly earlier this year.

[AccursedHalo]

Never saw it hit the boat -_- could someone get a time

[TheSpizer]

Holy crap it actually HIT the boat!

[SuperFamfan]

wow, alot of that ride has changed,i still think that the current update to the ride is better,if only they could keep the part where jaws pulled the boat at a 90 degree angle but still would of had the flames exploding.

[dgrgich]

I have my plane tickets purchased to be at the park 1/2/12. Not sure if I will actually make it but I'm going to try!

[SpazAttack7x]

Universal Orlando Resort announced that the JAWS! attraction and the Amity Area will close permanently on January 2, 2012 to "make room for an exciting, NEW, experience."

:'(( sucks that I won't get another chance to ride it again...

[baronfcs]

@SpazAttack7x stinks, i was on it in november, thought they'd never shut it down. i got a little sad earlier today after i got the universal insider email

[callingqueen]

I AM THE BIGGEST JAWS FAN EVAR! But sharks just dont "BITE" Boats Cuz they feel like it.

[piratepumpkin]

@callingqueen Bruce isn't your average shark : )

[guitargeek616]

i dont see why " It was removed after it was deemed too unreliable and replaced with the current ride."

[killahfromanilla]

@guitargeek616 it broke down repeatedly, having to be evacuated at least once a day

[SuperFlashDriver]

One ear only, try to redo this in HQ and have sound come through two ears.

[CrazyWulfProductions]

I think I like this version better, but since I only rode the new version, it's hard to say.

[DarkDialga960]

Funny how he instantly yells out the exact size of the shark, and even though that's how big it was in the movie, I don't think it's necessary to say it's 25 feet long

[Ionisus]

they should make a swimming with jaws ride

[SuperFlashDriver]

@Ionisus They should try putting in a REAL shark and see how it would react to it.

[LillyLillistrand]

"D-did I get him? D:"

"No. :/"

[bsdude010]

The shark at 3:20 looks betters then the current version at Universal Orlando. This one looks more like a real white shark. The new one looks like plastic.

[ThunderMaster01]

@bsdude010 yeah the new ride is better but this shark is way more realistic

[romeoandjuliet1968]

Am I the only one who would be terrified if I fell into the water?

[ttiiyy]

The shark in the original one was more realistic though. I like the current one, but why does the new shark look so much worse?

[cbbcfantastica]

My left ear feels abandoned :(

[GregMega2010]

This one Sucked compared to the one they have now

[HPFreak4Life1708]

anybody hungry? lol

[sketchly60]

the newer ride in orlando is much scarier, shark much bigger, and it comes out more... half onto the boat!!!!!!!!!!1

believe me, this is nothin the new one is scary

[ttiiyy]

@sketchly60 True. But I like the idea that this shark's dragging the ride in the first original version. They should have kept this idea.

[charliethegent]

@sketchly60 It does not come up on the boat. There are enough lies on the internet, move along.

[silverthehedgielover]

pppffft! ha ha ha! that is like the most rubber looking shark i have ever seen! and you can hear people laughing when the shark comes up

[silverthehedgielover]

why was this deemed to unreliable?

[HereComesTreble23]

@silverthehedgielover The special effects were hit or miss, no pun intended. The ride system now is no better to be honest, but tech support has more control over it- also, the red chunks coming up looked REALLY cool, but over time it made the whole lake red and chunky and it just looked bad, along with plugging up the filters. Great concept, poor execution.

[Clay3613]

@HereComesTreble23 I'm sure 20 years later they could now do that without any of the complications.

[HereComesTreble23]

@Clay3613 They could, if the JAWS budget actually existed :(

[oahuboi63]

what the hell kind of weapon was that

[oahuboi63]

wow. awesome quality

[smedley]

OMG. This was filmed 14 years after I was born.

[pinkglamgrrl]

this was recorded 6 years before i was even born

[1918twilight4ever]

God that is scary!!I so would not been able to be near the water,i would have like shit on my self!

[foxskinbabe]

this ride made me cry .. my dad took me on it when i was like 5 .. it so scary

[GWStreicher]

Wow - that was pretty epic! I can't believe Jaws actually attacked the boat :D

[vteckillenzc]

that part had some many problems thats why it not there anymore

[XxXDualityXxX]

@GWStreicher they should have kept it! that would havemade the rid scarier

[RCT3Syco213]

FISH GUTS!!!

:D

[readordiefanatic]

was the lagoon larger back then?

[DeepSixed300]

No, it's unchanged

[FreckleFaceHere]

@readordiefanatic no but it looks like it. in the new ride they have a gas place -not sure wht to call it- and it lights up on fire. that takes up some of the lagoon.

[homeritus360]

Where was the boathouse scene?

[Drac39]

I don't think Jaws busts through it in this version

[CheshireCat555]

@homeritus360 probably with the quality and how dark it way, you couldn't see anything. probably best to cut it out

[kapanda00]

Not really scared of many rides at amusement parks, but sharks are so damn scary.. Don't know how well I would take this one. ( o _ o) Or the new one in fact.

[Imran500]

Orlando, Florida is one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S.

[Smithfilmproductions]

yes it is

[carlosperezvidal]

why

[Imran500]

Crime.

[88horrorfan]

lol yeah it would even though its fake

[kkgaddie]

Don't fall in the water!

God that would be creeeepy!!!

[SpiralAnimation]

dude id totally shit myself even though its fake

[appleguy1804]

wow, was it biting the boat? looks more realistic than it is now..... love the guts, but where is the fire part? it would be awesome if they are mixed together...... :D

[ajhouseproductions]

too many q's in universal ,,,

i prefer disney

[sportsman214]

haha so cool how they shot up that blood guts

[bleachedwhite9]

i have a question is the boat they showed that was sunken still at the new version

[HighKicks90]

The shark looks more realilistic than the one now

[AIDANDPIP]

3:28 the shark looks real there than what is does now.

[gman14578]

I like the newer version better i think

[ReallyGoodJoe]

I have just posted a higher quality version of this ride on my account. Note: it's complete!

[Orlandoflorida09]

DUDE! They had Universal in florida in 1990! i thought it was made like 1995!

MAN!!! I was born 94!!!!!!!!!

i CANT WAIT!!!!!!! till I go to universal AGAIN spring break 2009!

[rougefan9]

The shark looks better in this one and where he was pulling the boat 90 degrees and end was awesome! but however i like the new one 2 pretty cool

[robbiehpr]

the shark looks a million times better in this ride than in the current one

[Titanic125]

wtf the jaws ride is changeded now the jaws ride now is beter than tis more action

[AnikiDryim]

3:54 ending was more suspensful Only got one shot left folks... and horriffic music ending from Jaws 1 too

[Warheart17]

I remember this version! I used to have nightmares when you see the two fins at 1:47.

[shrklvr94]

this version was great, and yhe new one always breaks down

[Tonytambe]

On 4:01 to 4:16 If The Shark Was Talking

It Would Be Like This

Shark: Weeeeeeee

Shark: Ahhhhhh

Captin: Smile

Shark: Uh Oh!

Couple Sceonds Later

Shark:@#&!

[allisonricealliecat]

the new bruce looks more real and ackts more real too

[xexlxyxsxax]

why did they chang it

[bensonrulz2k7]

the gun dunt smoke any more and half the effects have changed not good

[mooshy79]

I like the music in this version of the ride better...it sounds more like the actual movie's soundtrack. (However overall I like the current ride more)

[darkpokemonmaster999]

i am going to universal studios fl next tuesday i will try to get a video of this ride and pics

[viewtifuljosh37]

I wish Universal would change the ride back to this version just for a little while.After going to universal and riding the previous today version,i get tired of watching JAWS get barbequed all the time.Its really old and tell you the truth i never got to ride this version before ever.I was like 1 year old when it first opened.

[fredfredfredburger44]

ha ha the sharks so fake!

[Shyguyblue]

mamma mia! ha ha ha!

[Baltimora1957]

It was said that nothing worked properly when the ride was first opened. I don't know but if you ask me it lookes like everything was working alright.

[JediBMar]

This was a lot better in the 90s... I went on the new one a few years back. Very different.

[Baltimora1957]

When I went there in '92 the ride wasn't even open. So I wonder how this was made when the ride apparently wasn't even opened until I believe '93.

[silentbob8201]

It opened with the park but they closed it by 91 when i was there and there was a big sign that said under construction. the Jaws attraction was a big part of the early promo's for The Park before it opened so you can see how an 11 year old me was like wtf when i went there and it wasnt opened.

[Baltimora1957]

They must have closed it after this, remodeled things with the shark & whatnot, & then reopened it. If you ask me, this one was more like the movie, seemingly more realistic, & they should have kept it this way.

[oldsmar34]

who recorded this video

[ata55667788]

wow the ride is alot diffrent the shark was not as lifelike and came very close to the boat it looked like it was touching the boat and I wonder what that blood machine did to the ride can someone please tell me

[meggiepease]

wow anyways this sooo fake

[Laura2cool]

(reply) its a freakin ride how can it be fake??

[1999UTD]

ofcourse its fake its a ride you idiot

[Guypersonmanthing]

you dick

[omgaw]

Whoa, that shark looks so much more real that the current versions.

[Bifftannen26]

the only time i went was in 92 i was nine years old, total dream come true

but I found Nickelodeon studios anti-climactic

but Jaws wasn't opened for some reason and I was pissed but judging by this video the ride then seemeds pretty crappy

[118turnerbear118]

when i went on this i had a much better actor

[LaurenRisker]

I think that a person is in in the shark and controling it i went on that ride i was at the edge THE FUCKING SHARK NEERLY ATE MY HEAD OF! Boy did i shit myslef

[dontaskmeplz123]

my husband and I were on this in june of 1990

[cen262]

that is so short of a ride

[Sk8tAngel]

when i was 2003 i was on that ride that shark came right up in front of me and i went into shock!

[H8terfrmdabay]

hahaha u was 2003...wait are u 2008 now?!...lol

[TAURENBOY8]

ur name is right u r a hater it was supposed to be when it was 2003 dumb fuck.

[moto1666]

that shark would scare me to death the new 1s dont

[lovebleach15]

man! the original jaw in this ride...seem soo realistic then today ride..i could'nt tell if that was a real shark...well now..you could tell it looks fake anyhoo...why did they have to remove it!!! i wanna ride the original one..

[gabyloves147]

dude! the blood flew everywere!~ lol thye dont do dat no more =[ lol

[imbo8w]

you got a video of the ride when it actually worked

[bearsballa123]

oh shit dude on the new one if you sit in the back jaws fukn come over you your like almost inside his mouth fuckn trippy ass ride

[JDEUCEandFITCH]

i mean its cool how the shark grabs the boat and stuff but i was cringing when no one screamed lol

[evh5150316]

LOL. Everybody yells....THERE IT IS...when the shark popped up! LOL. When this ride first came out it seemed scary as hell....now that I think about it........and now that I'm older........it's really not that bad. lol.

How could you wanna go on this ride more than once.....you know what's going to happen. Plus the whole Captain guy would get annoying with his shtick.

[hardincountytigers]

Wow, this is old school. This was one of the first few rides at Universal.

[crazy4flcl]

the jaws ride is still running i went ther yesterday

[rangingbulb]

I thought it was really good, High quality and cool i especially liked it when the Shark popped up and scared the $h!t out of people hehe!

[Burblez]

Woah, Jaws looked more realistic then...except for the white eyes at the boat pulling bit. Or was that because of the lighting?

[scythecam]

thats because sharks roll their eyesback hen they bite, the white is a layer called the nictitating membrane

[akbleiweiss]

yo lets fry the shark yeah! Bye bye jaws!

[Yorulover009]

xD I loved this ride [the one in the 90's], I was near the boat when Jaws bumped it and he gets electrocuted AND when the sparks of wire exploded!

My first time and I got all the action!!

:D

[akbleiweiss]

i want to go back on this ride again so bad its not even funny

[BaAqui]

bueno la musica esta buena pero la version de ahora es muhco mejor creanme

[holtskee]

I like 1990 version's music better but yea obviously the currently Jaws is superior in every other way.

[marianne1993]

Its aa beautyfull animal!!!

[Robbeyray]

what does unreilieable mean

[gilliancarson]

not trustworthy...

[aqw12]

meaning, you can't trust it !

[RedCancer]

The machine kept breaking down mostly due to the explosion of blood. That effect took a toll on the ride and kept screwing the ride up.

[Ltwolf27]

this ride is way better than the one now...It even blows up into pieces(shark)

[AshleyTisdaleOMG]

wow i wasnt even BORN!!

[hsmrules11]

i agree with thehollister2690 the blood part is sick and i was sat on the side of the boat where he gets electricuted.urgh i nearly threw up :(

[Robbeyray]

it seems the same and why did they upgrade it

[BubblyMaking]

did you read the 'about the video' thing? it said the ride was unreliable so they replaced it

[BubblyMaking]

for all you guys saying this is stupid or lame for something else...seriously quit it! they didn't have the technology we do now in 19fricken90! I think this is pretty good for 1990

[spluge]

i dunno... i think the new ride is better except for the part where the shark grabs the boat and pulls it. and the ending... sharks chunks... gnarly

[bolnesboy15]

damn what a lame ride

[asskakakaka]

this one doesn't even have any fire

[scoobyboi84]

this version looks so much more realistic, the new one is lame with all the random houses and a church, and the new sinking boat looks really cheap.

[FreakOnALeash223]

wtf!?!?! a woman at 3:25 was laughing? lol

[BrolySanders]

the shark looked beeter then, and the ending was better too

[thehollister2690]

eww that blood part was sick

[88elliot]

when i went onh this ride in 2005 it didnt do nufink like tht it must of changed

[imbo8w]

yeah, it changed around '95

[readordiefanatic]

the best part of this version is shark swimming, it's head popping up and then it going back under, THAT was pretty real looking, otherwise the newer version is better

[bleedozz]

that shark looks so much better than that piece of shit grey condom shark they have now

[akbleiweiss]

look out for jaws people

[akbleiweiss]

ok guys jaws is coming!!!

[ShieKra38]

The music is from speakers on the boat.

[boobear437]

Was the music on th boat itself of was it projected from speakers somewhere else or did you add it in... Either which way,,, It still looks like an awesome ride!

[Deftone318]

Well, at least they use John William's score for the ride.

[AlexxArgen]

The theme they use now is part of the Jaws theme that John Williams wrote.

[akbleiweiss]

hell yeah!

[Savelolita]

this video is rated e for entertaining ha ha ha i wish i could go on the ride! i LOVE sharks!!!!:)

[animatedartist32]

I didn't even see what happened. Did they blow it up?! or shot it?

[Savelolita]

they blew it up

[Tylerayy]

when i always went on that ride i would always stick my hands in the water one day i did the shark came and i hit my finger on the tooth....lol

[imbo8w]

Oh Yeah, your such a liar.

[imbo8w]

I mean this guy said he would stick his hand in the sharks mouth

[JohnyRC9]

I remember when I was little, me & my family did the majority of the line twice in the same day & both times as we were getting close to ride it, the line stop moving for a while & then they announced that the ride was having technical difficulties.

[Savelolita]

omg i would have been sooooo annoyed did u end up going on it?

[JohnyRC9]

We never got to ride it, since all the rides have big lines we didn't want to waste more time there. We just taught next time, but the next time we went it was the version that is there today.

[MELANIE1001]

I consider myself lucky to have ridden this original ride twice...it was broken almost 3/4 of the time we were there.  Sad the technology was so sketchy it freaking rocked. Always liked it when the shark blew up :-)

[2346]

lol the shark on this 1 look more real than the current 1 but if they just use the shark on this 1 with the current 1 it would b better

[brycab]

they seem bored

[Destroyer975]

i wish this ride would have stayed

[Antho1313]

The shark looked more life like back then with better movement . Now it just comes up and goes down.

I still love the attraction

[hyrulehistorian]

how deep do you suppose the water is on the ride as of today?

[HunterBHolmes]

The water on the ride today is only about two feet deep except where the shark is, there it is dug out so they could hide the shark futher down but still sometimes if u look u can just see the faint outline of the sharks nose before it lunges at you because it is only a foot under the water while waiting and ur boat rides on a track.

[hyrulehistorian]

thanks :)

[ZJ1986]

I did not know the attraction was moved and changed. DAMN! X(

I would have been there in the first place.

[HunterBHolmes]

The ride was never moved, infact most of it is the origanal ride except the end where they just changed the unreliable parts, unfoutunatly the sharks were too complex and had to be rebuilt and simplifyed :(

[ZJ1986]

Oh....sorry....:/

I would have seen the part in the first place when the shark gets blown to bloody pieces.

[yomomma3000]

is this universal studios finland

[ninjablue4]

I wish they kept Bruce as the shark on the ride...but his animatronics were starting to fail as well if I believe correctly.

[iconwarman]

no it's in florida

[jtobin13]

wher is this england??john

[zakurowolf19]

I'd prefer if they still had the explosion.

[evilpizzabox]

Omg. At 4:05 If a duck was on the water by Jaws.....
